Edrik Cloude
Stellaran Knight (a.k.a. The Black Moon or The Eclipse)
Every family has its black sheep, and for the brotherhood of Stellaran Knights that sheep is Edrik Cloude. Once a noble knight and true, Edrik was slain when he fought a powerful death knight in single combat and lost. To add insult to injury his killer then proceeded to bind Edrik's soul to his armor, preventing him from returning to Aurora's embrace like he deserved. However the Stellaran was not going to take this heresy lying down, investing his power fully into the armor and embracing the role of a risen warrior fully. Edrik arose and slew the death knight in unholy vengeance, banishing their soul to Umbra's outer darkness.
The consecrated armor of a Lunar Knight was never intended for such a purpose, having been forged to purge the undead, not house them. The evil act of the investing Edrik's risen soul into it stained its bright, white metal a jet black. Now the Black Moon stalks the night, continuing on his quest to cleanse the wicked even as he is counted amongst their number. Unable to acknowledge him as one of their own, the remaining Stellarans have given him a new nickname to replace his original title: the Eclipse. While the others of his order shun his very existence, they cannot help but pity his situation, for they know that it could have as easily been their own.
